Will I get the advantage of the new Strongly Typed Html Helpers with asp.net MVC 2 if were to use the spark engine for rendering?

A:
You can use any HtmlHelper that ship with the MVC framework in Spark view engine.
${Html.TextBoxFor(p => p.Name)}

Spark version 1 did not support strongly typed helpers. But if you want to use mvc2, you got to use newest build of Spark anyway.

Spark view page base class doesn't have public property Html with HtmlHelper type but u can add it yourself.
Add
<var Html="new HtmlHelper<YourModel>(base.ViewContext, this)"/>
on your spark view and after that u can use
${ Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserName)} as well as ${Html.Label("some label")}.

Whenever you are confused about it, you can't definitely know how to do, you still use aspx-like expression - <%statement%> :) Inline code in Spark supports #statement variation too.
